Weekly Top 30 Rankings: Damn Cubs.

Here we are again. I had to rank the Cubs and Red Sox pretty high this week because I go strictly by their records because I find that funny. I guess I have to stick with it. Grumble grumble harumph harumph.

1st place: Arizona Diamondbacks at 13-5.Wow.Huh.

2nd place:Chicago Cubs at 12-6.Half of their wins have come against the Pirates.So really they’re a .500 team.

Theriot and Fontenot, the Shakespearean Cubbies.

3rd place:Boston Red sox at 13-7.They only vaulted up here because they’ve taken 3 straight from the lowly Rangers.They still got swept by the Blue Jays.

4th place:St. Louis Cardinals at 12-7.They lost two in a row for the first time this season.Tis but a scratch!

WOOO!

5th place:Florida Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago White Sox at 11-7.In order:the Marlins are hanging right in there, aren’t they?Milwaukee has two big games with St. Louis the next two days; the Cubs rejoice.The White Sox are about to host 3 games with the Yankees and then 4 with the Orioles.That will be very telling about whether or not they are legit.

8th place:Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels at 12-8.I wonder how long this dog-fight in the AL West can continue?

10th place:New York Mets at 10-7. You’re a half game behind the Marlins.That’s weird, huh?

11th place:Baltimore Orioles at 11-8.Seriously…what the fuck? When do they start sucking?They just took 2 out of 3 from the Yankees.Black is white, up is down.

12th place:Toronto Blue Jays at 10-9.See above.

13th place:New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies, Atlanta Braves at 10-10 or 9-9.In order:aww poor Awod is hut and now yu are fwive hundwed.Can I even name a Mariner who is not named Ichiro?Hmm…nope.Meh, kind of over God’s Team.The Braves are riding a 4-game winning streak and about to host the lowly Nationals for 2 games.Should get them caught up with the Mets.

17th place:Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins, San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies at 9-10.In order:The Royals were rollin’ until dropping 4 straight.I hope they can right the ship. The Twins?Meh.The Padres:Maddux and Peavy and pray for…a break in the leavy?…I got nothing.Phillies:about to go on a fairly easy road trip to Colorado, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.By next week’s rankings they should be 14-12.

Mmmm, Peavy.

21st place:Cincinnati Reds, San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays at 8-11.The Reds are back to their rightful place in the NL Central.50% of the Giants’ wins have come from the Cardinals.Dammit.The Rays…are bad.

24th place:Pittsburgh Pirates, Los Angeles Dodgers at 7-11.When do the Cardinals get to feast on the carcass of the Pirates like the Cubs have?The Dodgers?Meh.
